"I think Matt is the kind of quarterback that will understand, at this point, this is also about what is his legacy going to be," Blank said. "He wants to win championships and make sure the team is in position that we can compete for free agents. We expect him to work with us to ensure there’s talent around him." Entering a contract year, extending Ryan is Atlanta’s top offseason priority. As a Tom Condon client, it would be surprising if Ryan settled for less than top-seven quarterback money.

Going on 33, Ryan followed up his MVP 2016 with a disappointing 20-score campaign but didn't take any physical steps backward. He had the looks of a player who should remain the answer under center for at least 2-3 more seasons. Any extension would have to make Ryan one of the 2-3 highest-paid players in the league.

Matt Ryan completed 22-of-36 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in the Falcons' 15-10, Divisional Round loss to the Eagles.

Ryan couldn't bust any big plays and struggled in the red zone as the Falcons lost a game they probably should have won against a team starting its No. 2 quarterback. Ryan was a lock to fall back from his 2016 MVP campaign this season, but regressed well past the mean. His 4,095 yards were his fewest since 2010, while his 20 scores were his fewest since his rookie year. His YPA dropped nearly a yard and a half, tumbling from 9.26 to 7.74. All season, Ryan and the Falcons' passing attack were anemic in the red zone. Going on 33, Ryan did not exhibit any physical drop-off. He'll be a top 10-12 quarterback option in 2018 fantasy drafts.

Matt Ryan completed 21-of-30 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 26-13, Wild Card win over the Rams.

Ryan took some thundering sacks on a night where the Coliseum's turf was an issue, but helped keep the chains moving with nine completions to Julio Jones. That included a game-sealing, eight-yard eephus-type pass for a touchdown. The Falcons now get to face the Nick Foles-led Eagles in the Divisional Round, and will likely be road favorites as the No. 6 seed against the No. 1 seed. Jan 7 - 12:04 AM
